86044 “FROZEN FRONTIER” GLACIER NATIONAL PARK MONTANA

This travelogue film takes viewers on a tour through Glacier National Park.

The Great Northern train pulls up at the East Glacier station (1:34) which is one of the two rail gateways to the park. Close to the station, is the Glacier Park hotel (2:00) and a couple dines at the hotel restaurant peering out one of the wide windows which offers picturesque views of the area (2:07).

The famed Many Glacier Hotel (3:10) is one of the largest hotels ever built by Great Northern Railway. Around the hotel are some of the many hiking and riding trails (3:18). Horse back riding is considered one of the better ways to travel the rugged terrain (3:24).
